Marketing implementation is the action step. The research and planning stages have
been completed. Content and communication pieces have been developed. Now it's
time to put the plans into motion.
Implementing a finished marketing plan requires a strategy all its own. To be
successful, implementation needs the support of top management, good
communication among all managers and staff, close coordination of all departments,
and a method of handling resistance to change.
Implementation is the art of introducing and managing change.
Marketing Implementation includes:
• Setting schedules and target dates for completion of implementation tasks
• Establishing regular training and feedback session with employees
• Allocating financial and organization resources to carry out implementation plans
• Assigning implementation tasks
• Executing elements of the implementation plan
• Monitoring the progress, costs and results of implementation plans
